I don’t understand why there’s no woven for the Air.
You can try this one.. it is not original (obviously) but might be good enough

I just found this on AliExpress: US $21.13 | For Magsafe TechWoven Case with Animation for IPhone 17 Pro Max Air Macsafe Magnetic Wireless Charging No Camera Control Button

I think I like the how the ghost feels better. The frost is bulkier and weighs more. I may return it but going to test it out for a few more days. You can barely see the apple logo through the frost
I received the frost yesterday. The frost is much thicker depth wise compared to the ghost. The frost feels very blocky (and bloated) due to the flat edges all around. The ghost has a better form factor and feels better in the hand. The frost may be going back.

I’m not “hating him”. I just sensed a lot of fake enthusiasm from him in the past when he first got popular. I also don’t think he’s a kid. He reminds me of a 90’s type of guy that acted like a know it all when computers really got popular.

Got it. Ive never watched his YT channel so thought ask who he is and why lol.
 
A bit scared about the quality I will get with my Synthesis Frost when it comes. I really like the design of this case bit hoping for high quality.

Does Caudabe charge for return shipping?

So I returned the Green Tech Woven case. I like the material and quality, but it hides most of the phone’s color and personality. It might work for neutral colors, but this orange is something special and shouldn’t be covered, otherwise you’re basically turning it into a green phone! 😆

For now, I picked up a Spigen Ultra Hybrid case, but it’s no good, the cutouts don’t line up perfectly 😕 and it’s obvious Spigen didn’t have the right measurements when they made it. So this one’s going back too.
My phone’s currently naked while I look for something else.

Linus has a fair review of the iPhone 17 Pro. If you want more info you should watch the review and see for yourself. If you don’t like his style that’s fine as it isn’t going to be everyone’s cup of tea, but don’t rely on a pre-conceived opinion from a hater who probably hasn’t even bothered to watch that video either.

There’s a lot more to it than that. Try alleged plagiarism, data inaccuracy, unprofessional communication, bullying and sexual harassment. Google it.

Also, see his recent Airpods Pro 3 review. It’s like watching a spoilt child’s reaction to not getting ice cream.

Uh wut? I watched the entire video and thought it was fair. Did you watch the video and judge it on its merits?

As for the affiliate link, I thought it would be obvious that I found the affiliate link URL humorous. Yes I’ll admit their advertising worked on me. However, I have no skin in the game, other than I’m looking for cases to check out. For the record, I didn’t buy a Dbrand case. I bought an elago silicone one but am also looking for decently priced leather cases that don’t have a metal ring around the camera plateau.

Hmmm…. To be clear, Linus himself was not accused of sexual harassment but an employee did complain about sexual harassment at the company. The CEO (who isn’t Linus and who also was not accused) then commissioned an arm’s length third party investigation, which could not confirm it. Of course that doesn’t mean nothing happened but I think context is relevant here.

Why we hating that kid?
Kid? he's like 40 and has a teenage son 😁
I don’t hate him, but he and his team definitely put out some questionable, biased, and unfair reviews from time to time, spreading brand hate toward Apple, Bose, Intel, Nvidia, Chromatic, (to name a few) based more on "brand hate popularity" to get more views instead of honest tech analysis + heavy shilling. His channel and reviews shouldn’t be taken too seriously, positive or negative. That’s all.
